For some reason all the logs in the logs directory are no longer being written to. This happened the other day suddenly and without apparent reason.

Webalyzer stopped working too.


anyone know what could be wrong?

thanks

Check the main log (access) and see if there are current entries. Chances are there are. What often happens is that the log rotation and webalizer sync gets flogged as the log files grow too large and are rotated out before webalizer reads them. (Logs rotate based on two circumstances: size or time).

There are log fix threads, though old, they will most likely fix your problem. A search in this forum for 'log (or logs) rotate' should get you the info you need to try fix #1.

there are no new entries in the main access log. it is 0 bytes in size.

hmm, well all the logs for Apache (on a RaQ) go to the main log file and are then split out in a daily process.

You might want to stop/start or restart apache to see if that gets the logs going again.

for what it's worth, mine did the exact same thing a couple weeks ago when some updates were put on it.

it ended up being the crond. After my colo restarted crond, all was well. Until the recent reboot. broke again. hoping a restart gets me back on track.
